BENGALURU: Employees play a big role in making an organization successful in its venture. And hence it doesn’t come as a surprise when giants of the business world are seen rolling out new incentive programs or paternal leave policies for the benefit of their workforce. “According to the career site Glassdoor, over 57 percent of all workers say perks and benefits are among the top things they consider when deciding whether to accept a job, and almost 80 percent of employees say they would prefer new benefits—like health insurance or paid time off—over a pay raise,” says Jacquelyn Smith, Editor, Business Insider. Just look at Facebook, Airbnb, and other tech titans offering unique and surprising perks like travel stipends and "Baby Cash"—all to make their staff feel motivated and inspired at work.

"Benefits and perks matter because they are an added piece of the total compensation puzzle," says Scott Dobroski, Glassdoor's career trends analyst. "Job seekers should understand what benefits and perks an employer may be offering, and do their researches ahead of time to find companies that offer benefits that matter most to them."

Glassdoor's list is based on the hundreds of thousands of benefits reviews shared on Glassdoor by employees. Through research and surveys, Glassdoor has found that benefits and perks affect recruiting efforts "in that they certainly help get prospective talent interested in a company and through the door," Dobroski explains.

Here are 20 of the most incredible perks companies are offering right now, reports Business Insider.
